【Tea Ceremony Utensils】Matcha tea bowl / Longevity tea bowl. It features an auspicious "Longevity" design. This is a ceramic tea bowl with beautiful hand-painted decoration. The cream-colored base is decorated with green and red patterns, and the character "寿 (Longevity)" is written on the inside. The subdued color scheme makes it suitable for practice or everyday use. I inherited this item from my mother, who used to study the tea ceremony (Urasenke). I do not study the tea ceremony, so I do not know the details. It is a beautiful item, so I hope someone will find it useful. There is a potter's mark on the bottom of the tea bowl, but I couldn't read it due to my lack of knowledge. Paper box (with age-related deterioration) 【Size】 Diameter: Approximately 12.5 cm Height: Approximately 9.2 cm *Please allow for some error due to amateur measurement. In my amateur opinion, there are no particularly noticeable flaws, and I think it can be used without any problems. It was stored in a box in a place away from direct sunlight in my home. As it is a used item, there may be slight signs of use on the foot, but there are no noticeable scratches or chips, and I think it can still be used.
